Sit/Stand Chairs

We have over thirty years experience selling chairs. Beginning first in a 40,000 square foot showroom in Southern California, then expanding into the Web, we have sat in, sold and learned about office chairs ever since 1976. But the web and a store are different: It is easy and fun to show a chair in a showroom - Try this one, move this paddle, sit in this one, etc... in this setting we are able to visibly show you our passion, knowledge, and our belief in the product we are selling; this was something we needed to carry over to the World Wide Web. We are not used car salespersons; as hard as this might be to fathom, we are genuinely invested in helping our clients find the office chairs that are best for them.

If you prefer an ergonomic office chair, perhaps an ergonomic keyboard will be helpful in making typing as pain-free and efficient as possible. You’ll notice a difference in the way your body feels after long desk sessions. What are the five main reasons that using an ergonomic keyboard will benefit you?

1 – Ease of Use

Most ergonomic keyboards will require you to adapt to them to a degree. You’ll have to determine whether these adjustments make it worth the mild hassle. How long does it take to get used to the different typing style and each keyboard’s differences?

2 – Proper Positioning

Keeping your hand and wrist in line with the forearm should maintain a neutral, straight position. This helps in reducing the stress placed on muscles and tendons. Don’t use wrist pads when you’re keyboarding, and leave the keyboard lifts in the back flat.

3 – Media-Control Pads and Devices

Keyboards are designed to facilitate typing, but many also have ways to use Firefox or iTunes without excess finger motion. Devices like media-control pads mean that you won’t have to use your mouse as often.

4 – Keyboard Layout

Some ergonomic keyboards have programmable keys that allow you to remap keys, with 24, 36 and 48 macros including a maximum of 56 characters. These keyboards can be switched between Dvorak and QWERTY layouts. These aid in typing comfort and ease of use.

5 – Keyboard Configuration

The natural wave of an ergonomic keyboard allows it to pivot on an axis. Some can be used as standard keyboards or configured into positions that fit your hands and arms more naturally. The best ergonomic models can resemble the layout of the most expensive keyboards without requiring any kit to expand the splay and tent of the keyboards. Using an ergonomic keyboard as a standard keyboard is beneficial when you have limited space.
